Obama’s Budget
USA Today reports this morning on President Obama’s new education budget:
Among the most significant K-12 proposals, Obama wants to put more money into early childhood education and fund a new effort called Promise Neighborhoods, which would give poor urban kids access to a “rigorous K-12 education” and a large array of services, including preschool, health care, family counseling, parenting classes and nutrition. The idea is modeled after a successful New York program called the Harlem Children’s Zone.
